Additional quotes by William Cowper

Pernicious weed! whose scent the fair annoys, Unfriendly to society's chief joys, Thy worst effect is banishing for hours The sex whose presence civilizes ours.

Glory, built
On selfish principles, is shame and guilt.

Variety's the very spice of life, That gives it all its flavour.
